I make it sound dark but really its nothing new. Few people are early adopters. If you have been a bitcoiner for more than a couple years you are not the average person. Most people are not that curious about such things and its always been the case. My understanding about bitcoin's utility is that its existence will benefit everyone in society even if they don't adopt it early. We are still early now but even so those that eventually will be paid in bitcoin will benefit from the downstream effects.

Why Did Bitcoin Jump in Recent Days? (Checkonchain, James Check)

Wow, that's quite dark, man. On the contrary I made an overview of bitcoin ownership recently and looks to me like boomers are hardly in the game. That said they can get in, but at the cost of making everyone that is already in (much) richer.

That's all the legal route, of course. Looking at United States for example most of the bitcoin reserve(~200k) was seized(stolen) from Silk Road, Bitfinex, FTX. And there's the infamous order 6102. I'd worry about that more.
